Edit: I noticed there was no mention in that article about any commercial development to serve the community. Even though the new Dominion supermarket is not far away, I think there is little else around. The idea for good planning in the 21st century is to create communities where people can live without dependance on private automobile transportation. That means increased density and having all or most major services and recreational/institutional ammenities accessible close by within walking distances.
